In the glare of a neon sign
|
She laid her body down
|
The damned walked in beside her
|
And laid his money down
|
|
He said don't try to scream now
|
But I want this one to hurt
|
And tonight my pretty one
|
I'm gonna get my money's worth
|
|
She said they never listen
|
She said they'd never understand
|
That I don't this for pleasure
|
I just do it cause I can
|
|
I swear I didn't want to
|
And I swear I didn't know
|
That things like this could happen
|
To a 17-year old
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
|
And I've bottled up all of this pain
|
And no one or nothing can take this away
|
But I won't let it happen again
|
Never again
|
|
In the haze of a smoky room
|
He chokes that bottle down
|
It's been a month since her saw her face
|
Underneath the blood stained gown
|
|
He thinks about that little girl
|
And the one he has at home
|
And wonders what if that was my little girl
|
Walkin down that road alone
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
|
And I've bottled up all of this pain
|
And no one or nothing can take this away
|
But I won't let it happen again
|
Never again
|
Never again
|
No
|
|
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
|
But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonight
|
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
|
As he cries out to the heavens
|
I am not my father's son
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
|
And I've bottled up all of this pain
|
And no one or nothing can take this away
|
But I won't let it happen again
|
Never again
|
Never again
|
No
|
